Abstract

The world Rock, Paper, Scissors championships are an annual Toronto tradition that pits the world's greatest Rock, Paper, Scissors championship against one another each year in not-so-mortal combat for a grand prize of $5000. Many people were preparing their weapons and talking strategy. Each participant was given a rulebook, a schedule, a waiver and the arena where they would be competing the "Round of 512." Before the "Round of 256" started, the author asked "Pencil-vannia" what his chances were of getting to the end; he said 1 in 256."
